It's possible that the newer drivers, now having the necessary lines,
have caused depmod to modify modules.pcimap and consequently may try to
load ivtv and related modules on bootup.

If this is happening, you will need to rmmod or reboot, which you report
having done (albeit unsucessfully).

There is, somewhere on the disk, the older .ko module. Find out where by
first rmmod'ing ivtv (however may be required; lsmod must show it
absent), then run "modprobe -v ivtv". This will print out the path of
ivtv, and all dependant modules, as they load.


Cheers,
Phil
